I'm running XP Pro, and installed Win 7 on a second hard drive so I could dual boot (which worked fine). I'm an admin for both boots, as well as the only user. I've now managed to hijack almost all of my access with Win 7 via those "You do not have permission to access this folder. To take permission, etc etc etc" and "You do not have access, check the security tab" things. My entire "My Documents" folder is now in read-only access when I'm in XP.
I've tried taking permission of the folder and then giving complete access to all users (via the security tab/advanced/etc that I saw for someone else with a similar problem), but I still get "Access denied" when trying to do anything to it while in XP. I've tried setting the permissions specifically for "Administrators", "Everyone", "Users", "Power Users" and had everything checked, but still no dice.
Is there any way to fix this or did I screw myself over? Will deleting the Win 7 install "unlock" my folders in XP?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
